Eleanor Friedberger - When I Knew lyrics

I could see the tops of her white socks Just beneath the desk Her pants didn't reach all the way down her legs And you know what happened next I said hi politely and we went to time for coffee Yeah yeah yeah that was when I knew That was when I knew I was wrong wrong wrong all along That was when I knew, yeah That was when I knew They said we both write weird music And she played me Soft Machine And lent me a record that badly warped which screwed up everything I was broke, just fifteen I scoured London for a replacement I found it cheap in an Oxford Street basement Yeah yeah yeah that was when I knew That was when I knew I was wrong wrong wrong wrong That was when I knew, yeah That was when I knew I met her in my bedroom Oh at a party, Halloween And she was wearing a pair of overalls So I sang "Come On Eileen" I was being slightly mean And that just made her smile Which made me feel childish Yeah yeah yeah that was when I knew That was when I knew I was wrong wrong wrong That was when I knew, yeah That was when I knew We played a song for scratch that night And when she done up singing She just took off, stage left And left us there winging it The band went down swinging As she made her exit, arms in the air I caught her eye, I was unprepared When I couldn't get her out of my head So I got her out of hers instead No I couldn't get her out of my head So I got her out of hers instead I know I couldn't get her out of my head And then we ended up in... She glided by on antique roller skates And overtook our car Just down the street Up from where we parked Just south of Market In the Castro sun she seemed to glisten And when she spoke I listened Yeah yeah yeah that was when I knew That was when I knew I was wrong wrong wrong That was when I knew, yeah That was when I knew
